A multifunction device includes an image reading unit, an image forming unit, a lower housing, an upper housing, an operation panel, and a contacting/separating portion. The upper housing includes: a front wall from which the operation panel protrudes frontward; and a rear end portion pivotably connected to the lower housing. The upper housing is pivotable between a seated position and an ascent position relative to the lower housing. The operation panel has a panel front end and a panel bottom surface formed with a groove recessed upward therefrom. The contacting/separating portion is provided at the panel bottom surface. The contacting/separating portion abuts on the lower housing when the upper housing is at the seated position and is separated away from the lower housing when the upper housing is at the ascent position. The groove includes a first groove part positioned between the panel front end and the contacting/separating portion.

An image transmission apparatus includes a plurality of keys, a scanner, a display, a memory, and a controller. The plurality of keys includes a plurality of numeric keys and a first specific key. The memory is capable of storing a plurality of telephone numbers associated with respective ones of the plurality of numeric keys. The controller controls the display to display a telephone number inputted via the plurality of numeric keys, and transmits the image data generated by the scanner to a transmission destination indicated by the displayed telephone number. In a case that operation of the first specific key is received and operation of one of the plurality of numeric keys, as an operated numeric key, is received, the controller reads a telephone number associated with the operated numeric key from the memory, and transmits the image data to a transmission destination indicated by the read telephone number.

An image forming apparatus includes an operating key, an illuminance sensor, and a controller. The operating key contains a lamp. The illuminance sensor detects an ambient illuminance. The controller controls turning on and off of the lamp. The operating key functions as a first trigger for return from a power-saving mode to a normal mode. The controller turns the lamp off when the ambient illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor in the power-saving mode is equal to or more than a first threshold value, and the controller turns the lamp on when the ambient illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor in the power-saving mode is less than the first threshold value.

An input device is mountable on an image forming apparatus including a display portion capable of displaying information and is a numerical key unit 70 at least including a numerical key portion 110 consisting of a hardware key capable of inputting information on a numerical value and a start key 131 consisting of a hardware key capable of inputting information for starting predetermined processing. The start key 131 is disposed on a front side F than the numerical key portion 110 in a state in which the numerical key unit 70 is mounted on the image forming apparatus.

An input device including an operation key arranged in an opening of a panel is provided. The input device also includes a light source and a push button switch each being arranged in a position opposite an opening on a board. The operation key includes: a key top having a pressing part extending toward the push button switch. The pressing part is arranged in a position separated from a center position in planar view of the key top on a line that is parallel to a line connecting connection parts of the key top, which are connected with one pair out of one or more pairs of arms, and passes through the center position. The push button switch is arranged in a position on the board opposite an arrangement position of the pressing part.

An electronic device according to the present invention includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a recording control unit configured to perform control to start recording content including at least one of a moving image and sound in response to an operation of a first operating member or a second operating member; and a control unit configured to perform control to: record the content as content of a new group that differs from a group of content recorded immediately prior thereto in a case where recording of the content is started in response to receipt of an operation of the first operating member; and record the content as content of the same group as the content recorded immediately prior thereto in a case where recording of the content is started in response to receipt of an operation of the second operating member.

To make it possible for a user to easily perform partial editing for an unsettled file name or the like being displayed on a UI screen of the image processing apparatus. An editing a UI screen that takes a character string selected by a user as a target is displayed.

An operation input device includes: an operation panel unit which receives an operation input by a user touching a displayed operation key; a vibrating element installed at a specified position of the operation panel unit to vibrate the unit at least in one direction; and a vibration control section which causes the element to vibrate according to an operation input receiving condition on the panel unit. On the panel unit, operation keys are arranged more densely in a first region near the installed vibrating element than in a second region remote from the vibrating element, or keys which are more frequently used are arranged in the first region than in the second region. Alternatively, an operation key for user interfacing to set display of keys is arranged in the first region.

An image forming device includes: a sheet feeder that feeds a sheet; a controller that: discriminates a sheet type of the sheet, and receives a user input to specify a sheet type; and an image forming device that has two setting modes including an automatic discrimination mode in which an image is formed based on the discriminated sheet type and a user specified mode in which an image is formed based on the sheet type specified by the user input. The controller automatically switches one of the two setting modes to the other based on a defined condition.

A multifunction device includes an image reading unit, an image forming unit, a lower housing, an upper housing, an operation panel, and a contacting/separating portion. The upper housing includes: a front wall from which the operation panel protrudes frontward; and a rear end portion pivotably connected to the lower housing. The upper housing is pivotable between a seated position and an ascent position relative to the lower housing. The operation panel has a panel front end and a panel bottom surface formed with a groove recessed upward therefrom. The contacting/separating portion is provided at the panel bottom surface. The contacting/separating portion abuts on the lower housing when the upper housing is at the seated position and is separated away from the lower housing when the upper housing is at the ascent position. The groove includes a first groove part positioned between the panel front end and the contacting/separating portion.
